You are actually posting this issue in the Customer Service Forum, Aliverrh, and as such our knowledge of technical issues may be limited.
With that said, and based on your description, there is something that is blocking the connection, possibly a firewall or anti-virus program. Also the fact that it is not only happening when you try to log in but to your friend as well is also a good indicator it is computer specific.
This issue would be best addressed by our Technical Support team:
Technical Support Assists with: installation, patching, troubleshooting, technical problems while starting and/or running the game, etc Hours: 7 AM to 8 PM Pacific Time

but i already flushed a prepaid card down the drain in the summer thanks to this issue and i dont wanna have to stop playing because of it.
If you were unable to use the Game Card time due to the Technical issue, we may be able to assist with that as well. You would want to resolve the Tech issue first and then have the representative look into the possibility of adding the time missed back onto the account.
